Users of Cloudpermit can use the application to send direct messages to a specific recipient. However, the functionality does not currently support sending messages to multiple recipients.
Even though direct messages are meant for someone the user chooses, like a municipal authority or a property owner, these message threads are open to all municipal authorities in the department and shouldn't be thought of as private messages. However, parties can only see direct message threads in which they are either senders or recipients.
If the person is not a municipal authority, ensure that you invited the person to collaborate on your application and that your invitation was accepted before sending a direct message. More support articles for inviting parties to your application can be found in the "Party Invitations" folder.
